Bought this from a neighbor who was moving. It’s real comfortable; it swivels and rocks. But I somehow ripped it! It’s about a 2 1/2“ tear.
You could sew it very carefully with a curved needle and matching thread. Try for small almost invisible stitches.

I do not know if this tear is ragged but try so No sew heat bonded tape, but ever so carefully
depending on the size of the rip you can get material glue if you apply it to a tiny square of materil then slip it inside and under the rip ....make sure you line up the rips sides as close as possable ...then press it together and leave it till it is set up..(a couple hours) if need be try sewing it with matching thread with small stitches on the rips edges to bind it more
Supposed it’s a seat in your car, how would I hold it together to set??
